So, I wanted to take today to give a shout out to some of the reader's blogs that I have noticed! I thought it would...

I am so in love with these detail pictures, shot by Little Black Book member Aaron Delesie...the colors are so vibrant! It goes to show that it truly is the details that can turn a good wedding, into a spectacular one...

In my opinion, Aaron is the epitome of a great photographer. He not only captures the colors and the textures of the day, you can see the emotion and the...

I wanted to take this morning to tell you about a few things that are happening in the wedding world that I am finding really inspiring...

First, Rebecca over at White Aisle, recently launched an absolutely beautiful new silk product line...handmade flowers, sashes and ring pillows that have been sewn by Cambodian girls using the finest local silks. Rebecca's wonderful new project...

This is our first Dear Abby in weeks, and I must say...it's a pretty good one! Reader and future bride Nicole, is struggling with a clear color palette for her upcoming September affair.

Q. I've put together the attached inspiration board, but I'm having trouble coming up with a palette that works for this time of year- on the cusp of summer and fall. I've been pondering sage green, lavender, with touches of ivory. I was considering brown as a neutral at first but I'm...

I love the board that reader Alissa has put together...somehow making Gray, White and Black seem so chic and elegant. I love that she has taken a rather understated palette and given it a sparkle that I might not usually be able to envision...

From Alissa...

Over the past two and a half years, I have lost both of my parents. As a 25 year old, and the oldest of three kids with a giant extended family, it's just been an unbelievable time, it still doesn't always...

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I wanted to kick off the week with a gorgeous reader inspiration board. Designed by Nina, I really fell in love with this board. It's not only her beautiful color palette (which I am a HUGE fan of), but it's her sense of restrained elegance that I am completely drawn to...

From Nina...

My fiancé and I decided on a winter wedding because we find cloudy weather very romantic. We wanted our wedding to be very...

Before we announce the topic of our next contest, I wanted to share with you some fun news from one of my favorite letterpress shops, Bella Figura. First and foremost, if you haven't already, spend some time today checking out their site as there are some absolutely gorgeous designs and inspirations...

If you see something you just have to have, go ahead and place your order...Garnish is offering flat shipping rates thru the month of...

I have spent the last few nights fixing up our guest room and scouring the internet to find great prints for its very bare walls. I have been a long time fan of Edward Erlikh's sketches and watercolors, so I have been dreaming about the day that I can hang some of these. I am especially in love with the bold, hot pink pieces...with touches of black and white. So of course, it got me thinking about wedding palettes.

Another inspiration board for you to devour! This one from a real wedding done by reader and recent bride, Danielle, that in my opinion, is completely and absolutely beautiful. I kind of think that my new favorite color is lime green, thanks to this gorgeous board!

Today I wanted to feature a few of the reader inspiration boards that I have received over the last few weeks. The first one comes from Megan, who is looking to design a somewhat non-traditional affair hosted at this amazing winery, overlooking the mountains...

After the ceremony, the party will retire to a farmhouse hotel for a light country-style buffet. Megan is wearing her mother's wedding dress, altered a bit. Instead of a wedding cake, she is going to serve cherry...

Lisa at Oh How Charming! has yet again, come thru in the clutch, with some oh-so-fab details about the gorgeous wedding from earlier today!

This wedding was held at the beautiful Maroma Resort & Spa in the Riviera Maya. Cathy and Steve wanted a super organic wedding, but also wanted to mix in as much traditional Mexican decor as possible. They wanted the wedding to have a fairly under-produced and authentic vibe. To accomplish this, we utilized as many local resources...

On to another inspiration board from our An Inspired Affair Series! I absolutely love this board. And, as it is cold and rainy here in Boston, I also thought it would be a nice little "vacation" for us...

Designed by the magnificent Lisa Vorce at Oh How Charming! and shot by the wonderfully talented Elizabeth Messina, this wedding was so well executed, it's almost hard to believe...

A few weeks ago, I drove to NY to do an on camera interview with Get Married TV on the Lifetime network. The piece was shot in none other than the studio of Christian Oth Photography...a photographer that I have admired for some time now. Aside from the fact that Christian and his colleagues were so kind, the studio itself was in a word...gorgeous. Some of the most spectacular photographs that I have ever seen adorned the walls...
